> The friend says, "How can that be? You told me he had $20,000 a few days
> before he died. How could you be broke?"
>
> The widow says, "Well, the funeral cost me $6,000. And of course, I had
> to make the obligatory donation to the church, so that was another $2,000.
> The rest went for the memorial stone."
>
> The friend says, "$12,000 for the memorial stone? My goodness, how big was
